Mission

The mission of the parish is to invite and welcome others into a relationship with Jesus through the proclamation of the word and the celebration of the Eucharist. All that we do flows from our Eucharistic celebration where we encounter Christ in the word,sacrament and one another as the body of Christ. Strengthened by our participation in the Eucharist we are sent to be leaven in the world, to proclaim the goodness of God through a commitment to works of charity and social justice.
